Hebrews 11:1 & 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21
When I was getting ready to pursue becoming a John Maxwell Team Certified member, I asked my wife why she didn’t hesitate to give me permission. After all, it was a several thousand dollar investment.
Her response was that I’ve been successful at what I have done in the past and that she believed, based on that evidence, that I would do well in this new life journey. In other words, she had faith in me because she had facts to support that faith.
One of the most famous verses in Christianity is Hebrew 11:1 “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” But there’s another side to that coin. And that is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 which says, “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.”
You see, there is a balance in our lives. We need to live our lives through that faith, but we also need to check the facts of the situation to ensure we are not being led astray. Relying on facts and faith, you implement the law of navigation.
Go, outlive your limits!
